Why is Good Alternative Fashion So Hard to Find ⁉️

[@rowanlaverne]

I am that goth person. The people at Wal-Mart are always so confused when I go in with my Lolita lifestyler sister. It is a sight.

[@MunthApollo]

I would be delighted to find such a duo when shopping at boring ol' Wal-Mart.

[@lisdmon6538]

smh they are so ungrateful

[@fairyelno]

you and your sister are an iconic duo

[@Honeyhams]

people are mad about a 100 dollar dress? *laughs in plus size* edit: I'd just like to remind people that being plus size you often have VERY limited clothing options for things like underpants, trousers and basic t-shirts, let alone work or occasion clothing and it is in no way comparable to CHOOSING to dress in an alternative style or buy from indie brands - most "nice" or professional" clothes for folks over a certain size START at $50 per piece even at the low to mid end.

If we live in a world where everyone dress up in alternative fashion we'll all be JoJo characters... Can't wait😍

my biggest tips are: THRIFT!!! you can get a lot of stuff for cheap. do DIY. rip your pants, make a shirt out of fishnets, paint your jackets, make patches, etc. accessories (such as belts, chains, rings, etc) can make a HUGE difference in your outfit and make it a lot more outfit. lastly, learn alt makeup. instantly makes any fit look alt. no one looks at your shirt if you paint your face like a literal clown for example

[@bigspiderpapa3458]

I totally read thrift as Theft and i was like wait wah? Lol

[@silence3030]

@@bigspiderpapa3458 honestly that works as well lmaooo AS LONG AS ITS NOT FROM SMALL BUSINESSES!!

[@mariek.474]

Goth brands used to care about quality (you can find Tripp or Lip Service clothes in thrift stores that aren't recent but still in perfect shape). It was assumed that you invested in pieces to look magnificent at the club while mixing and matching them, to keep them for a long time. But nowadays if you get clothes from brands like Killstar that focus on trends and new releases each week, obviously they will be just like the stuff from H&M : thin polyester and bad quality overall... They copied the fast fashion model even if on a smaller scale. But also back then there was less competition, so they had their niche's fidelity and didn't have to cut their prices/quality as much as brands do today.

[@bee-ke9ek]

sometimes normally-bland brands will sell "accent pieces" with normie outfits, and i just buy all of the accent pieces from all the brands...idk if this would work with other styles (I'm kinda soft goth sorta e-girl but more andro idfk) but it works for me... :)

[@cat777weasel]

Missguided does this! It's mostly joggers and bodycon dresses but every once it a while or if you really weed the search results you can find interesting things like faux leather jumpsuits, patterned cigarette pants and velvet dresses.

[@hedfhrffgdbf200]

Me too! I just gave up labeling myself so I'm just wearing something in 'my style'. Just dont feel bad if you don't like trad goth style cuz I did and felt less goth. At the end of the day, you're goth only if you listen to the music

[@MilkyQuartz]

It's kind of a rule. If it's alt, it'll be hard to find

[@aethcat]

I’ll just sew my own clothes now...

[@johngeiger7146]

Hate that in America if you wear fluffy ears people call you a furry, its not even an insult just plain annoying

[@namehere2570]

But if alternative fashion becomes the "norm", then it won't be alternative anymore??

[@anrowari]

I once saw a punk walk into a Mexican grocery store. I wanted to say hi but I was in my mom’s car while she shopped, so I couldn’t.

[@literally4891]

I just look at individual pieces that are things that someone would pair with some jeans and then just put it with riot grrrl pants

[@ethylruehman691]

What a great analysis of all these points!! High quality content 💕

[@TheStitchess]

Oh my gosh thanks so much

[@mykindofuniverse8459]

I wake up and think oh yes I'm a game character LMAO

[@S3r0t0nin]

I’m just tired of boring asf copy-and-paste normie clothes 😔✊

[@Janedoe-ns2vd]

Me too I wish there were more alt store beside from the ones online

[@happytortoisee]

True, that's why diy is the BEST I cut up my old to small black pants and am going to make fingerless gloves out of them!

[@auxomox]

Found this through the Confetti Club facebook group, love this!

[@TheStitchess]

Aww, nice!

Hello! I know this video is almost two years old, but it came up on my feed (since I subscribed to you recently) and I'm struck by your awesome hair. Did you do it yourself or get it done?

[@strawbberri]

Super interesting video! I always love your informational fashion videos! 💖💖💖💖💖

[@TheStitchess]

I’m glad you liked it! 🌸🌸🌸

[@mishidex]

This was really interesting perspective and well explained. Thank you!

[@wanessaribeiro3965]

OMG, you're so cute!

[@TheStitchess]

YOU’RE cute 🥰

[@dobbysrightsock]

i just want to dress like makoto from persona 5 is that too much to ask 😔

[@flightforlight157]

I actually think goth and the more cute one is styled after the fashion from the 1800s

[@biogeniclife]

Because alt fashion is mostly diy. Edit: if I saw some shirt or jeans that came already altered I would think it’s poser shit like most alternative people. DIY.
